Chamber President Message Welcome to the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce Community Guide for 2016. Hopefully you enjoy the resources and support found in this publication. The objective of this guide is to educate, orient and market to businesses, citizens and those new to our chamber family with the tools and information we believe will help you prosper as a member of our communities.

In Webster’s Dictionary, a chamber of commerce is described as “an association of businessmen and women who protect and promote business interests.” I believe this definition is exemplified by our chamber. We operate as an association to protect the interests and success of the businesses within and without our organization. We exist to promote economic prosperity for each and every business that calls Spanish Fork and Salem home.

Now that you know what our mission and objectives are, I must ask the question: would you describe yourself as someone who embraces these same values of protecting and promoting our communities? If so, I invite you to join our amazing association of business owners, civic and government leaders and amazing citizens in working together to protect and promote the success of the Spanish Fork and Salem communities. Come participate in our Farmer’s Market on Saturdays every fall as a buyer or perhaps a vendor at this

awesome display of local flavor. Give your time as a volunteer at our annual Easter egg hunt either by stuffing eggs or inviting families in your neighborhood to come and enjoy the excitement of the festivities. These are just two of the many programs we believe help promote commerce in our communities and work to protect our way of life and the values we hold dear.

Please enjoy all that our chamber of commerce has to offer and look to support the businesses that chose to operate in our communities and who we affectionately refer to as “Our Family.” Remember, your future is created by what you do today … make it a great day and a great 2016!

Executive Director Message 2016: Get ready, get set, go!

Truly, those are the words that come to my mind when I think of the past 365-plus days I’ve been in this position and visualize what is going to happen in the coming year. The Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce is easily the fastest-growing chamber in the state of Utah.

This growth is easily a reflection of the business climate, customer service being given in commerce, success of events sponsored by the chamber for people of all ages, a successful Utah’s Own Farmers Market, recruitment by city leaders in both communities in locating new business here, and the rural homeyness still left in the other areas of the chamber; and yes, by the networking and proof in the pudding of the chamber members who have been here and the staff support given.

One year ago there were approximately 170 members of the chamber, and today as I pen this message, we are excited to say there are 246 members… meaning in one year we have been able to welcome 76 new members, people, employees, networkers, advocates of the things to be done in building all of our communities. And when I say “all of our communities”, I mean everywhere from north Utah County to s outh because we are lucky enough to have a taste of almost each major city in Utah Valley represented in the chamber.

2016 brings the Ready, Set, Go, because we are --- literally, set to do it. This chamber is on the move to help make its mark on every level of community life in the areas we represent. The phones are ringing with people asking for appointments to learn about what there is here to offer. Present

members are referring friends who are joining. We have a waiting list of businesses that have already joined and are in line for a ribbon cutting.

The pride and progress I grew Photo by Christy Hair, Cheap Shots Photography up knowing was a part of this area has rippled for decades and still ripples its success in the joy of the people and the business community in serving it. As a kid here in Spanish Fork and as far out into the hay fields of Benjamin and Lake Shore, at noon every day I would get chills as I would hear the fire siren wail from the top of the Fire Department on the west side of 400 North Main.

Not chills of fear, but chills of comfort and safety. I knew as long as that siren wailed there were those who would jump to protect me, no questions asked. It was as if the city itself were calling to me and telling me not to worry because this was my hometown and we looked out for each other.

Well, there is no more siren, but what I can say is that right now the businesses of this area are making up for that cry of safety and community. And the way to best fulfill just such a mission is to group together in friendship, commerce, networking and service. Exactly what you will see ripple throughout in 2016.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Chamber sees massive membership growth The Spanish Fork/Salem area is growing, and that growth has bolstered interest in the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce. Membership is up at the chamber, from 170 members in 2015 to 246 members in January of 2016.

This has included everything from large businesses to individuals running businesses in their homes.

“I never a year ago dreamed that I would see 76 new members, and it’s not been me knocking on doors,” said Clark H. Caras, the chamber’s executive director. While door-knocking and phone calls are part of Caras’ efforts to promote the chamber and solicit members, he attributes the increased interest to a “ripple effect” being felt throughout Spanish Fork/ Salem area.

What is causing the ripple? Business is naturally growing as the communities grow, he said. The cities are recruiting businesses to their area, and entrepreneurs are coming forward with their own ideas. More people moving to the area - whether they’re new residents or baby boomers wanting to retire in their home town - means a larger customer base.

Businesses are also realizing that when it comes to giving back to the community, there is strength in numbers. Through joining the chamber, one business bands together with those

around it, enabling it to give back even more.

Katrina Kimball, owner of Sego Lily Soap, started making her own old-fashioned soap years ago to help her children who had skin problems. Eventually she began selling the soap to friends and family and four years ago, she began selling it online.

After being laid off from her full-time job of 17 years, she decided to pursue her dream of having her own store. In May of 2015, she opened Sego Lily Soap at 122 N. Main in Spanish Fork. The store offers more than 100 different kinds of soap as well as other products such as bath bombs.

Joining the chamber of commerce was a priority for Kimball as she began her new business venture. “I thought it was important to be connected and involved with our community,” she said. “It gave me an opportunity to meet people and to let people know that we were here.”

Attending chamber events provides networking opportunities and chances to serve others, she said, adding that there are more benefits if one is actively involved. “What you put into it is what you’ll get out of it,” she said. “I think I’m getting more out of it than I put in.” Kimball was installed as a new member of the chamber’s board of directors in January, a

position she sought so she could be even more involved and help with community events.

The chamber is a nonprofit organization, meaning money collected through membership fees and sponsorships is put directly back into the community to enhance commerce and improve quality of life for all. In addition to its increase in new members during 2015, the chamber also had current mem-

bers showing a heightened interest in raising the level of their chamber membership.

The chamber offers several levels of membership to chamber members, with various benefits accompanying each level.

In 2015, Maple Creek Home Health and Hospice became the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce’s first Diamond Member. Located at 290 W. Center in Spanish Fork, Maple Creek is a locally owned and operated facility that offers end-of-life care. It is owned by Carma Karsten, who has worked with hospice facilities since the early 1980s. Over the years, she saw corporate policy and profits taking precedence over patients. She started her own company knowing that patients would always come first.

Through being a Diamond Member of the chamber, Karsten plans to educate the community on the need to prepare for end-of-life care. “At some point in time, the end-of-life care discussion and decisions will affect everyone in the community,” she said. “Having the knowledge of the different resources and choices will be a great benefit to those who are unexpectedly faced with end-of-life care decisions.”

Caras said when businesses like Maple Creek Home Health and Hospice show increased support of the chamber, it enhances and enlarges the chamber’s opportunities to give more to the community. “Strength in numbers is always true,” he said.

Local farmers market sees record growth Record numbers of visitors and vendors made the 2015 Spanish Fork Farmer’s Market one of the biggest and best in the state, and the event looks poised to continue that trend in 2016.

At one point last summer, the market featured more than 50 vendors, its highest number ever. Cars were parked three and four blocks away from the event

and vendors experienced record sales.

“It’s now a destination,” said Clark H. Caras, executive director of the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce. Customers and vendors were attracted to the event from all over the state.

Held on Saturday mornings from July to November, the market attracts differ-

ent types and numbers of vendors each week as the growing season progresses.

It is unique in that no craft items or trinkets can be sold; only produce and other locally produced, consumable items are allowed. Caras said the market is a certified Utah’s Own event, signifying that everything at the market is produced in Utah.

Depending on the time of year, customers can find watermelons, corn, squash, peas, peaches, pears and other produce, but they can also purchase items such as breads, jams, salsas, syrups and honey.

Started more than 25 years ago, the Farmer’s Market was originally held in the park around the Spanish Fork Library. Eventually it was moved to its current location in the parking lot behind the Spanish Fork city office building at 40 S. Main. As the market grew, it lacked organization, and vendors wanted a way to reserve booth space without having to arrive in the early hours of the morning to claim their area.

Eventually, the city and the vendors approached the chamber of commerce for help, and the chamber’s board of directors agreed to have the chamber manage the event.

“We appreciate the chamber. They’ve just made it great for the farmers there,” said Sarah McMullin-O’Gwin, who has sold McMullin Orchards fruit at the Spanish Fork Farmer’s Market since its beginning. She still attends every Saturday, but now she needs a large truck to deliver the fruit instead of just a van.

Her cousin Angie McMullin Hepworth comes along to help because business is so brisk it takes two people to handle it.

“There’s been times on Saturdays when we’ve sold out the whole truck,” McMullin-O’Gwin said. “It’s so busy. It’s really busy. It’s our busiest market, in Spanish Fork.” McMullin Orchards also sells fruit in markets in Murray and South Jordan and at a fruit stand in Payson.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

McMullin-O’Gwin said she appreciates the chamber’s efforts to keep the market a true farmer’s market, adding that McMullin Orchards had pulled out of another market after it started allowing sellers with unrelated items. “We hope that the chamber continues to take care of the market because it’s really grown exponentially,” she said.

Caras said the chamber’s goal is to see the farmer’s market outgrow its current location, then figure out where it goes

next. “What the farmer’s market is for us is for those producers and growers to have a commercial outlet, but it’s also to bring people to Spanish Fork that we hope - and we are seeing - will come to town and shop,” he said.

The 2016 Spanish Fork Farmer’s Market will be held every Saturday from July 30 through Nov. 5. The market begins at 8 a.m. and continues until 1 p.m. Cost to vendors is $20 for one Saturday or $130 to reserve a spot for the entire summer.

Spanish Fork’s Play Unplugged program receives $25,000 grant from State Farm In June of 2015, more than 192,000 people took to Facebook and cast 6.2 million votes vying to bring a $25,000 grant to their neighborhoods. State Farm then announced that Spanish Fork’s Play Unplugged program was one of the top 40 vote-receiving causes, qualifying it to receive one of these grants to improve their community. Play Unplugged was the only organization in Utah to win.

“It’s not every day that you come across a program that not only helps out the businesses in the community, but makes a positive impact on the families as well,” said Dawn Davis, a member of the Spanish Fork Salem Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Play UnPlugged committee chair. “When Colt Sampson (of State Farm and a member of the chamber of commerce’s Play Unplugged committee) presented this grant opportunity to us, it generated a level of excitement that brought both families and businesses together rallying the community through social media as well as handing out flyers at community events and gatherings.”

State Farm Neighborhood Assist is a youth-led philan-

18

thropic program that empowers communities to identify and address issues in their neighborhood.

The affiliated nonprofits of the top 40 causes each received a $25,000 grant to create and execute a plan to address the cause.

The top 40 causes, representing 27 states from around the United States, ranged from helping underprivileged kids to providing food to communities; a large majority of the causes will directly impact kids and young adults.

The record number of people who participated and voted in the 2015 program demonstrates the passion communities have to help with community issues, said Kellie Clapper, assistant vice president of philanthropy for State Farm.

“We look forward to seeing the change that will happen in these 40 communities because of the Neighborhood Assist grants,” Clapper said.

Of the nearly 4,000 cause submissions that were received through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, at least one cause was received from every state in the United States. Then,

the State Farm Youth Advisory Board, a diverse group of 30 students who are passionate about social responsibility, reviewed the cause submissions and selected the 200 finalists to be voted on. In the four years of the program, 160 causes have received a total of $4 million to enact change in their communities.

“To quote Dr. K. Cheyn Gunnerson, one of the chamber of commerce members, ‘One person can come up with an idea to make a difference, but it takes all of us to build a community people want to call home.’ Thank you for giving our kids this gift and for giving us the unity we can all be proud of,” Davis said.

State Farm and its affiliates are the largest provider of car insurance in the U.S. In addition to providing auto insurance quotes, their 18,000 agents and more than 65,000 employees serve over 82 million policies and accounts – nearly 80 million auto, home, life, health and commercial policies, and nearly 2 million bank accounts.

Children invited to Play Unplugged in 2016 This summer, local children will again be challenged to unplug from their televisions, video games and cell phones and instead go outdoors for their activities. For the third year, the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce will offer Play Unplugged during the summer of 2016, a program that encourages children to explore a variety of outdoor and family-oriented activities such as flying a kite, learning to fish

or enjoying a picnic.

Through the program, local businesses sign up to sponsor one of a list of activities. When a child has completed that activity, they visit the sponsoring business to obtain a “Brag Badge� indicating what they did. Brag Badges can be attached to special Play Unplugged Lanyards that will be distributed by the chamber so program participants can keep

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE track of their progress and brag about it to others.

The 2016 Play Unplugged program will begin the week after Memorial Day and continue through Labor Day. Some aspects of the program will be different this year.

The Play Unplugged party, formerly held at the end of the summer, will be held on June 18 at 10 a.m. as a kick-off party for the program. There will be games and activities for the children, and some businesses will be on hand to offer children their first chance to earn some Brag Badges.

“We have a lot of businesses where they only work out of their home that want to do it,” said Heather Youd, director’s assistant at the chamber of commerce, and the party will give them that chance. The party will be held at the Spanish Fork Sports Park, 295 W. Volunteer Drive.

Youd said the chamber is trying to get the schools more involved in Play Unplugged this year. The chamber is offering prize money to the school with the most students that participate in the program. Also, at each school, a student that has collected all the available Brag Badges will win a bicycle. If multiple students at the school collect all the tags, a drawing will be held. A bike giveaway will be held for homeschooling students as well.

Last year, businesses had to purchase their Brag Badges separately from their participation fee, meaning they sometimes ran out of badges. This year, participating businesses will automatically be given up to 2,000 Brag Badges as part of their fee.

The Play Unplugged lanyards will be distributed through the schools toward the end of the school year.

The chamber is currently seeking businesses willing to sponsor a Play Unplugged activity. To sign up, contact the Spanish Fork Salem-Area Chamber of Commerce at (801) 798-8352.

Chamber helps community in new ways As the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce grows, it is actively seeking out ways to become more involved in the community. As a result, over the past year the chamber has been able to increase its participation in some community causes as well as find new ways to help local residents and businesses.

“The community is thriving in so many ways and obviously the chamber is thriving, and so therefore we want to step further out,” said Clark H. Caras, the chamber’s executive director.

An increase in businesses joining the chamber, as well as in businesses increasing the level of their chamber membership, has helped provide the chamber with more resources to put back into the community. Some of the ways the chamber has been involved during the past year include the following: FACADE GRANTS The chamber is now providing grants of up to $1,500 assist businesses and property owners in the downtown area in improving their facades through exterior painting, exterior lighting, storefront modifications or other improvements that enhance the structure’s outward appearance. Businesses must have Main Street frontage and be located between Center Street and 400 North to qualify for the grants. The buildings must be at last 30 years old and the business or building

owner must match the amount of the grant with other funds spent on eligible improvements. Those interested must apply for consideration as funding is limited.

GOLF TOURNAMENT SCHOLARSHIPS In connection with the Spanish Fork Rotary Club, the chamber has been conducting a golf tournament for more than 20 years to raise money for scholarships that are awarded to local high school seniors. In 2015, the Rotary and chamber were able to increase the scholarships from $1,000 to $1,500 each.

They were also able to present 26 scholarships - the most ever given - to seniors from all five local high schools: Spanish Fork, Maple Mountain, Salem Hills, Landmark and Legacy high schools.

FARMERS MARKET In the past, the chamber has managed the Spanish Fork Farmers Market through volunteers. This year, the chamber was able to hire a person to manage the event. “We ended up with what a lot of people are telling us is the biggest farmers market south of Salt Lake,” Caras said.

UTAH STATE JR. LIVESTOCK SHOW The chamber supports the Utah State Jr. Livestock Show, a place where 4-H and FFA youth exhibit their livestock animals.

2016 Spanish Fork Salem Chamber of Commerce Executive Board weekend in May. It is a rich tradition in the Spanish Fork community and the state.

PET ADOPTIONS Last fall, the chamber sponsored a day at the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter and paid the adoption fees for all of the cats that were adopted as well as the cost of spaying and neutering the animals. “They’re a member of our chamber. The chamber hadn’t done anything quite like that before,” Caras said. “We’re here for commerce and commerce is practiced by everybody of every age in the community, and so therefore we have a responsibility to give back to all levels of the community.”

DONATIONS At Christmastime in 2015, the chamber was able to donate $1,500 to Tabitha’s Way, a nonprofit, mercy-based Christian ministry that provides food and supplies such as clothing and baby care items to anyone in need in the community.

Tabitha’s Way has an annual Christmas dinner for veterans and anyone else in need and was expecting nearly 700 people to attend.

The chamber also annually gives money to Miss Salem and Miss Spanish Fork to help them cover the cost of competing for the Miss Utah title. In 2015, the chamber was able to increase the amount of money they contributed to this cause.

RODEO ARENA The chamber of commerce owns a box at the Spanish Fork Rodeo Arena. In the past it has been used by chamber members. This year, the chamber utilized the box to entertain and attract potential new chamber members. “It was a way for us to introduce several new businesses of all different sizes to really what will always be the heritage of this community, which is ‘cowboy,’” Caras said. “They came, they saw and they joined.”

SHOP WITH A COP For the first time, the chamber participated in the Shop With a Cop program. The chamber also made a significant donation to the program.

New spine academy at Mountain View Hospital The prospect of surgery on the spine or joints can be intimidating and frightening to patients. However, knowing what to expect and how to correctly manage the recovery process makes a positive outcome much more likely.

With this in mind, Mountain View Hospital in Payson officially opened its new Spine and Joint Academy in the Mountain View Medical Plaza located just west of the hospital. This program is a resource for patients through the entire surgical process, from diagnosis and selecting treatment to preparing for surgery, pain management and healing.

JoAnn Winn, an RN and director of the new academy, said the program will host classes for patients teaching them how to prepare for their surgery, answering questions about the procedures and explaining how to best manage their recovery. “One of the key things that’s important - we strongly believe that the patient needs to be in the driver’s seat, that they have control of what’s going on,” Winn said, “and we’ll give them as much or as little help as they need with that.”

Patients can contact Winn and she will arrange for them to attend a class, she also contacts patients directly that are referred by doctors. She plans to meet spinal surgery patients as

JoAnn Winn is an RN and director of the new Spine and Joint Academy at Mountain View Hospital. they arrive at the hospital, stay with them until the surgery begins and visit with them afterward to answer questions. Overall, she will be an advocate for them through the entire process.

Nate Black, director of communications for Mountain View Hospital, said MVH has had great success with its spine treatments, and this new program will build upon that success. “It’s no secret that these surgeries are major surgery and they require the patient to really think through a much broader gamut of how it’s going to affect them in their day-to-day living as they go through the process and through recovery,” Black said, “and managing the recovery process well has a large impact on the outcome. And so us being involved in the broader spectrum of care, we do that because we want patients to have the best possible outcome that they can have.”

The MVH academy has been patterned after a similar program at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem. Like Mountain View, Timpanogos Regional is a MountainStar Healthcare hospital.

SPANISH FORK CITY

Message from the Mayor Dear Residents, I am grateful to be a part of this great city. We have so much going for us in this area. The growth that we are seeing is a welcome sight.

As new businesses come to our city, they help our existing businesses. We are now seeing a rebirth in our downtown area. With the help of an outside consultant and the commitment of the merchants, things are moving in the right direction. What’s so great about our city is that everyone wants to help make it a place of “Pride and Progress.” Our chamber of commerce has done amazing things the past few years. The city continues to lead the state in many areas and we are the envy of all those around us.

Please look at the businesses in this magazine to see which of them can provide solutions for the things that you need help with. There are some amazing people that work in town, and you will find that they are here to serve you to the best of their abilities. As we use local businesses, we help our community become stronger and the money we spend stays here in our town. Most of our businesses get very involved in our community by volunteering and by sponsoring school events and city celebrations. They make our city a place where everyone feels at home.

My sincere thanks goes out to all of you that serve, volunteer and spend your time and money to make this the best place to live. I look forward to seeing you around town at our stores, ballparks and celebrations. Remember, “Think Local, Shop Local, Be Local!”

SPANISH FORK CITY

Following study, Spanish Fork Main Street revitalization is underway Direct shoppers to parking areas.

Preserve and enhance historic buildings. Organize special events to draw in patrons. All these ideas and more are becoming reality as business owners and city leaders use the recommendations of professional community planners to revitalize and enhance the historic downtown area of Spanish Fork’s Main Street.

In 2014, Spanish Fork was chosen to be part of the Community Planning Assistance Teams program offered by the American Planning Association.

Through the program, community planning industry professionals spent months conducting surveys, examining comparable downtown areas, conducting phone interviews and reviewing planning documents. This work culminated with a visit to Spanish Fork on May 10-14, 2015, with the planners spending the week working with hundreds of community residents and organizations, merchants, property owners and city officials to determine their vision for the future of the historic downtown area. In September of 2015, a final report was issued by the CPAT containing a list of recommendations for making that vision happen.

“We use that as kind of marching orders as we move forward and just implement those different goals,” said Dave Anderson, Spanish Fork City’s community and economic development director. “So far, things are working out great. I think we’ll see some physical improvements in downtown this next year that will be very recognizable.”

SPANISH FORK CITY other properties in that area of Main Street. Stern, who joined the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors in January, now serves on two committees that are meeting regularly to address the study’s recommendations.

The first committee, headed by Anderson, is examining what can be done through investment by the city. The second is a group of Main Street property owners and merchants called Spanish Fork Downtown Inc., which discusses potential action from a merchant’s standpoint. Downtown Inc. fulfills the recommendation that a committee of downtown business owners and merchants should be created.

Stern said different cities have names for their downtown areas to give them their own identity, and Downtown Inc. has decided to label Spanish Fork’s historic Main Street as Downtown on Main. The committee is also in the process of establishing a website that will highlight the downtown area and its merchants.

“I’m very excited. It’s really awesome because establishing an identity for downtown Main Street to kind of differentiate it from North Park (business development) but while integrating it with the entire community is really what we’re shooting for,” Stern said.

One of the perceived problems with shopping on Main Street is there’s not enough parking, which isn’t actually

true, Stern said. Parking exists, but sometimes it’s around the corner or behind a store. “One of the issues is, how do we inform the shopping public of where they can park?” he said.

Signage and other methods are being considered to solve this problem.

Another recommendation of the planning study was to create design standards for development. Stern said Downtown Inc. has been looking at the design and historic elements of downtown buildings and determining what it would like to have integrated into the city code so new development in the area will reflect the look and feel of the current structures.

The chamber of commerce has also started a new grant program through which historic Main Street business owners can apply for up to $1,500 in grant money to improve the look of their property.

In response to the recommendation to organize promotional events, Downtown Inc. is organizing food truck roundups that would have food trucks parked on Main Street on certain evenings and businesses remaining open later, driving business downtown. Previously, city code wouldn’t allow food trucks to park in a public right of way, but Downtown Inc. got the code changed last fall. Stern said they are now contacting food truck vendors, adding that he would like to see these events start happening as

Stern said in some communities, having a big box retailer come to town is a death knell for smaller businesses. In Spanish Fork, however, the opposite seems to be happening; the opening of Costco and Walmart has actually driven business downtown, and people are discovering businesses they never knew existed, he said.

“The goal is to provide a downtown that’s a destination for people to come down to shop, to eat and even just to hang out,” Stern said, adding that he thinks the city is on the right track. “It can’t happen fast enough,” he said.

Anderson said the best thing that came out of the study was the planning team’s ability to build consensus. “With very few exceptions, I think people are in agreement on the direction that things should go and the positive feelings and energy really has created a certain momentum, which is what we’re now working to sustain,” Anderson said. “The concepts and recommendations really have been really well received. A very significant challenge now is simply keeping that momentum moving.”

SPANISH FORK CITY

Seth Perrins takes on new role as Spanish Fork city manager As Seth Perrins has worked for Spanish Fork City during the last 11 years, he’s heard many people describe why they moved to the city. For many, the answer is that they could get more house for the price. But when asked if they would leave, the answer is a firm no.

They’ve fallen in love with the city.

Perrins and his family had the same experience when they moved to Spanish Fork in August of 2004 after Perrins was hired to be Spanish Fork’s assistant city manager. “This city is magical,” he said. “If you come here, if you interact with the people here, you get a feel for what the city is here. It grows on you.”

Dave Oyler, who has served as Spanish Fork city manager for 41 years, retired in early February, and Perrins was hired to take his place. In an interview one week before he began his new duties, Perrins said the thing he was looking forward to most was continuing the relationships he has forged with community members and city staff.

SPANISH FORK CITY “We have a fantastic city council here, and through the years as they get elected and they come on, they have a tremendous vision of where they want Spanish Fork to be,” Perrins said. “I look forward to the challenge of keeping that vision and helping the community move forward in the right way.”

A native of Moses Lake, Wash., Perrins came to Utah to attend Brigham Young University. After earning his master’s of public administration degree, he was hired to work full-time as a management analyst for Orem City after working as an intern there.

His career next brought him to Spanish Fork, where he has become familiar with the community’s unique characteristics. For example, he said Spanish Fork residents love to do things together. This is shown in the many yearly activities that receive community support including Fiesta Days, the Harvest Moon Hurrah and the Winter Lights Parade.

Perrins said the city has an attitude of “we can do that,” whatever “that” may be. In the 1960s, the city decided it needed curb and gutter on all its streets, so it found a way to do it. In more recent years, obtaining quality Internet in the city was difficult, so the community gathered together and decided to create a broadband system. He added that when the city gets things done, it does them well. “Now, that doesn’t mean that we spend a lot of money, but we do things in a way that you will be proud of,” Perrins said.

In his new role, Perrins intends to continue the city’s tradition of careful spending and growth management.

“If we can manage the way that we grow, then it won’t be out of control,” he said. “If we can keep our budget under control and not get too far ahead of ourselves and don’t overextend ourselves, we will always be able to manage what crisis may come and maintain the quality of life that our residents expect.” He expressed pride in the city’s workforce, which is lean in numbers but incredibly productive.

He will also continue working to bring in new businesses to the city and overseeing a seven-year upgrade of all city streets that is nearly complete. The city’s pressurized irrigation project required cutting trenches in many city streets, which led to rough roads. The city’s street department decided to dedicate some resources to fixing the roads each year and has been methodically working on the project ever since. The department has seen such success that they now visit with other city councils to explain to them how it can be done.

Overall, the city is doing well and Perrins has no plans to change the way things are running. “The city is poised for wonderful things,” he said. “That speaks to the credit of Dave Oyler and the city council and department heads and employees that we have.”

SF 17 puts community on television

By Clark H. Caras Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Because Spanish Fork has SF Channel 17, the city and the chamber can do some things unlike any city in the nation. All council meetings are broadcast, and yes, they are watched. I can’t walk through Macy’s or down Main Street without someone unknown to me coming up and saying, “I saw you on TV.” I was a cub reporter for the Deseret News when the city proposed having its own Internet and fiber optic cable station. Most people laughed because they didn’t even know what that meant.

Just recently, Spanish Fork was written up nationally for having the envy of cities across America because it now has SFCN and SF 17 with a broad viewership of the 42,000 who live in the city and ex-pats who can pull it up and stream it live on their television or through YouTube.

It gives the chamber the opportunity to have every ribbon cutting in town covered and broadcast several times on the air, even those we do in Springville, Salem and Payson. The Winter Lights Parade was broadcast in its entirety as is the Easter Egg Hunt, the chamber’s Noon Networking lunches and other events.

Businesses are able to buy commercials and even have the station produce them as it is run and managed by professional television and movie production graduates.

Last fall, the station created the “Thriller” video as an homage to the anniversary of the original video and for Miss Spanish Fork Allison Issac, who also needed it for her

Miss Utah entry. Several hundred people, including the council, myself and dozens of chamber members, as well as many of the little queens in town and citizens by the dozens, spent about three hours recreating the “Thriller” video with the aid of SF 17 and lights, booms, ladders, a drone and makeup artist volunteers.

It was broadcast at Halloween time and then rebroadcast for fun to promote the chamber’s Trick-or Treat Saturday and voting which was about to take place.

SF 17 broadcasts live all high school sporting events for the high schools and leagues in town, and when Salem and Spanish Fork played for the state championship, it was live there and on KSL. The feed on KSL went out for a time and it was found that hardly a citizen in either community missed it because they were watching it on SF 17.

This tool and our partnership with the station gives the chamber and local businesses visibility in the community that otherwise would not be available.

Salem & Spanish Fork among some of the safest cities in Utah It was announced nationally in December 2015 by SafeWise that both Salem and Spanish Fork are two of the Top 20 Safest Cities in the state of Utah. Salem was ranked 10th and was closely followed by Spanish Fork at 12th place.

SafeWise is a company that helps people compare different security system options and determine which will be the best fit for them and their home.

In identifying the 20 safest cities in Utah, SafeWise reviewed the most recent FBI Crime Report statistics from 2013 along with population data. SafeWise then eliminated all cities with fewer than 3,000 residents along with any cities failing to submit complete crime reports to the FBI. From there, SafeWise evaluated the remaining cities and narrowed the list down based on the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape and robbery) and property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny/theft and motor vehicle theft) in each city. To further level the

playing field, SafeWise calculated the likelihood of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people in each city.

In Salem, the number of violent crimes per 1,000 people was 0.44. The number of property crimes per occurring per 1,000 was 12.38.

In Spanish Fork, the number of violent crimes per 1,000 people was 0.27. The number of property crimes occurring per 1,000 was 12.92.

It should be noted that when identifying communities where they want to locate or relocate, retail, industrial/ manufacturing and high-tech companies look at rankings such as these.

The Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce congratulates and commends both communities’ public safety departments and the Utah County Sheriff’s Office for making these rankings possible. A shout out also goes to the citizens of the area who are alert and part of helping make these rankings possible.

Intermountain Healthcare’s Spanish Fork hospital entering planning stage For many years, Intermountain Healthcare has owned property in northern Spanish Fork with the idea of someday building a hospital there.

In 2016, that idea will start to become reality.

Intermountain is officially beginning the “planning stage” of its Spanish Fork hospital this year, said Janet Frank, spokesperson for Intermountain Healthcare of Utah County. The two following stages - design and construction - are all part of Intermountain’s five-year plan, meaning it’s likely the hospital will be under construction within five years barring unforeseen circumstances.

The property, which is currently

Discover a new way of living at The Ridge If you are looking for high-quality, low-maintenance housing in Utah County, the Ridge at Spanish Fork might be for you.

The Ridge is a new community of luxury townhomes located on the east end of Spanish Fork in between Highway 6 and 2550 East, featuring resort-style amenities and an incredible view of the surrounding mountains.

The community contains a million-dollar pool facility with a retractable roof that allows swimming all year round in addition to a clubhouse with workout facilities, an entertainment area, and cooking and meeting spaces.

Each home is 100% maintenance free, meaning that you will save time by not having to worry about the upkeep of your home’s exterior. The homeowner’s association takes care of all of the landscaping, snow removal, painting, and yard work so that you have more time to enjoy your home. The Ridge also contains large playgrounds and sports courts for outdoor enjoyment.

There are a variety of floorplans available from two to four bedrooms, and between 1,700 and 2,600 square feet. All homes include a two-car garage, and there are even floorplans that are main floor living layouts for those who would prefer not to have stairs.

The townhomes begin in the high $100s and go to the high $200s range, and the community is currently accepting presales.

You can learn more about them and contact them by going to http://www.theridgespanishfork.com/.

SPANISH FORK CITY undeveloped, is located just northeast of the new Spanish Fork Walmart store. “It’s a good chunk of land because when it comes down to building a hospital, we do want to have a significant presence in Spanish Fork,” Frank said.

The facility will be what Intermountain terms a “community hospital,” although exactly what that means is to be determined as planning proceeds. Orem Community Hospital and American Fork Hospital, both operated by Intermountain, are each considered a community hospital but are different sizes and have different functions.

What’s certain is that the new facility will bring another choice for hospital care closer to residents in Spanish Fork and its surrounding communities. Doctors who practice in the Spanish Fork area must now send patients to Utah Valley Hospital in Provo or MountainStar’s Mountain View Hospital in Payson when they need that level of treatment.

“I think the history of Intermountain looking to Spanish Fork so many years ago and purchasing property speaks to the fact that we’re committed to the Spanish Fork area,” Frank said. “We’ve known this was going to be an area for growth, we know that even south of here will continue to grow, and we want to provide services for the people who live there in a more convenient location.”

In addition, Intermountain employees who live in the south county area but work at the Provo hospital will have the option of applying for jobs closer to home. “Everybody that works for Intermountain in Utah County is excited to see the Spanish Fork facility open,” Frank said.

Intermountain currently operates health centers in both Payson and Springville that offer family medicine doctors and InstaCare services for urgent medical needs. The health care provider prides itself on giving back to the community, and having a location in Spanish Fork will allow Intermountain to be a more integral part of that area. “To have a facility in Spanish Fork means that the facility can now interact with the community and people can have more affinity for it because they feel like it’s their hospital,” Frank said.

Fiesta Days: A local tradition

By Clark H. Caras Executive Director Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce While I was growing up in Spanish Fork, the words “Fiesta Days” were magic to me because it was like Christmas in July! And with Grandpa and Grandma Harrison living a half block off Main Street on 5th North, it was like being right in the middle of it all.

Overnight, American flags began fluttering up and down the boulevard, and even as a kid you knew that red, white and blue signaled something important and special - especially when that brand new Memorial Building was home to men who could talk about Iwo Jima, D-Day and a reverent place called Pearl Harbor. The blessing of that famous Canyon Wind brought those pieces of cloth to attention every morning and made them snap to remind you they were there!

Then, on that very special day - as exciting as standing in front of Forsey’s on the day after Thanksgiving and waving to Santa - the carnival would snake its way

south down Main Street to jaw-dropping slobbers of excitement, rolling past the Frost Top, World Drug and Gift Fair to the sacred ground of Center Street’s west side.

As the Ferris Wheel rose from its trailer to become the highest point in town, it was like a unheard whistle had blown and merchants up and down the street began rolling everything you’d ever wanted out of their front doors onto sidewalks that suddenly had no cracks. Families were drawn to the center of town to wander the new maze of color and smell created in this transformation of turning stores inside out, and the sidewalk sale became as celebratory as the Mammoth Parade.

Spanish Fork suddenly was a magnet drawing friends and family from Benjamin, Lake Shore, Palmyra and Leland and, yes, even family and friends from Salem were allowed to bring their dollar and meet you at the new library and venture into the mechanical smells and decocolored carnival with the aroma of corn dogs, cotton candy and sticky red candy apples.

Fiesta Days meant new boots and a new yoked cow-

boy shirt with snap buttons. And a one-night trip into the grandstand of the rodeo grounds, with its wooden underbelly and tall fences, provided the best playground in the world for a bunch of kids celebrating pioneer ancestors crossing the plains - and yes, the slivers were worth it!

Fish ponds made of sheets and dunk tanks were set up at the park and a parade just for kids was held on Center Street: all downhill and requiring nothing to enter but a squeaky bike and a bit of crepe paper in the spokes.

A jump in the new pool at the high school, a pronto pup or brown topper and a barbecue at Grandpa’s and Fiesta Days, aka Christmas in July, was done.

Last July, I watched more than 1,500 American Flags “officially” retired as hundreds looked on from the confines of a shiny new rodeo arena. An American warrior who’d just returned from war overseas spoke of his love of country and home, that home being Spanish Fork. This man, Sergeant Kyle Harrison, was a boy who grew up enjoying this wonderful celebration of home and family. He now, as a soldier, but most importantly as a husband and dad, was home again to kick off a new version of this wonderful citywide party that is unique to our community and now far more sophisticated and inclusive. That is and always will be Fiesta Days.

Salem Pond Salem Pond has long been central to the city of Salem. The area was once known to early settlers as Pond Town.

Located at 200 W. 300 South, the large pond is surrounded by a park known as Knoll Park where visitors can enjoy activities including birdwatching and picnicking. There is a playground and a sandy beach as well as a walking path and a beautiful arched bridge that provides a picturesque view of the area. Salem Pond is considered one of Utah’s urban fi sheries, with likely catches including rainbow trout, channel catfi sh and largemouth bass.

48

Various city activities occur at the pond, including the Cardboard Duct Tape Regatta held during the annual Salem Days celebration. This event has teams constructing boats out of cardboard and duct tape and competing with each other to sail across the pond. The Salem Days Fireworks are also held at the pond.

At Christmastime, Salem presents Pond Town Christmas at the pond, with Christmas trees ablaze with lights  oating on the water.

SALEM CITY

Salem City Mayor’s Message As mayor of Salem, I would like to thank the Spanish Fork/ Salem Chamber of Commerce for giving me the opportunity to introduce you to our beautiful community and share some of the highlights we enjoy as Salem citizens.

Honored by SafeWise as one of the top 10 safest cities in Utah, Salem is rapidly growing and becoming home to a fabulous community of people. Over the last several years, we have seen tremendous growth in the population of Salem. We now have three elementary schools, a junior high and our own high school.

If you have never visited the community of Salem, you should plan a trip with your family to enjoy the beauty and recreation found at our beloved Salem Pond. It is a hot spot for the people of our community and our neighbors. Any day of the week you will find families fishing, swimming, feeding the ducks, picnicking, floating on rafts or small boats or simply resting in the shade of the trees enjoying the breathtaking view of the mountains. Christmastime is a special treat at Salem Pond as patrons and visitors come from all over to view the spectacular display of our Pond Town Christmas. Floating Christmas trees and lights of every color blanket the park and surrounding homes. In the summer, as part of our Salem Days celebration families flock to the pond to enjoy the amazing display of fireworks as they cascade

over the water. It is an event that unites the community as they come together to celebrate the home they love.

Salem is an active community and the citizens love the recreation opportunities available to all residents on a number of levels: soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, cheerleading, dance, volleyball, fishing, tennis, football, horse riding and more. People also love to spend time hiking, biking, jogging, camping and hunting in our beautiful mountains.

The recreation opportunities are endless.

Although Salem has primarily been a residential community, we have seen consistent growth in our business and commerce opportunities. We have welcomed some terrific new restaurants and small businesses and are especially excited about the new Revere Medical Center.

The best part about Salem is that it is home. People find that whether they grew up here or have migrated to our community - it simply feels like home. The magnificent mountains, the friendly people and tight-knit community bring a hometown feel that speaks peace to your soul. I am grateful for the opportunity that is mine to serve the wonderful people of my community and invite you to come and visit Salem — The City of Peace.

SALEM CITY

A short history of Salem City

By Arlene Despain Wilson Known as “Summer Spring” by the Indians and “Pond Town” by early settlers, Salem, in Utah County, was finally named after the birthplace of Lyman Curtis to honor his contributions to the community.

The Indians appreciated the fact that the local springs bubbled up through sandy soil in a tree-shaded hollow, even in summer. In the spring of 1851, David Fairbanks and David Crockett discovered this same precious asset. Fairbanks had been assigned to Peteetneet Creek (Payson), where he was to become LDS bishop of the town. The two men continued to explore the area and found a large, clear stream flowing through a hollow. They realized that by damning the stream they could conserve the water that flowed out into swamplands. They soon moved their families and built the first dam, assisted by others from Payson who needed additional farmland. Some crops were harvested that year.

Winter and the threat of hostile Indians caused the families to return to Peteetneet, but “Pond Town” had a beginning with the dammed springs. In 1852 the two founders built a second and more secure dam, but by the next year the families had moved to Peteetneet and the new settlement was abandoned.

Settlers from nearby Palmyra, fighting drought and alkali salts in the soil, decided to start over at the abandoned Pond Town. George Wilson and his brothers purchased the Fairbanks-Crockett interest and they, along with eight other families, moved to the area in 1856. During that same year, Lyman Curtis, one of the original company of pioneers to enter Salt Lake Valley, joined in the new development with four of his sons.

In the next few years, two more dams and an irrigation system were developed. Homes were built adjoining one another for protection against Indian attacks. The homes were constructed of adobe brick and lumber from nearby canyons. The fort homes were used until 1870 when the Indian danger had been reduced. Settlers began moving into the town, which was laid out in five-acre blocks. As was common throughout Utah, homes and barns were built inside the town, with fields and grazing area outside. Boys herded cattle on “common grounds.”

The completion of the Salem Canal in 1869 brought irrigation water from the Spanish Fork River to Salem. Lyman Curtis, who had experience with irrigation in Santa Clara, directed the project to completion. The canal was eight miles long and took two and one-half years to build. Additional water was brought to the area by the Strawberry Valley Irrigation Project, completed in 1916.

Popular crops were wheat and other grains, as well as

52

tomatoes and peas for the Del Monte food-processing plant located between Salem and Spanish Fork. Beginning in 1891, sugar beets were grown extensively for the factories throughout Utah Valley. A “beet vacation” allowed boys out of school to assist in harvesting. Many farmers specialized in growing garden produce or in raising poultry. Local ranchers had grazing rights and permits in the nearby national forests, in Strawberry Valley and in privately owned property in Loafer Canyon.

In the 19th century, blacksmithing was a much-needed service, and there also were immigrants skilled in masonry, milling and cobblery. Sawmills and shingle mills, molassesproducing factories, creamerie, and confectioneries have supported families and provided for community needs.

The LDS Church started a co-op in Salem in the late 1860s; it operated largely on the barter system until it was discontinued in 1897. Several small stores were operated for short periods of time. In 1908 the Salem Mercantile Company was started by the James Peter Christensen family, which operated it until 1969. For many years the “Merc” used the barter system and issued scrip. In 1946 Melvin R. Hanks started another grocery business on Main Street. Later continued by two sons, this family business also thrived. There were a number of service stations along U.S. Highway 91, and a motel. Through the years the town also had a drugstore, barber shop, and a saloon. A few businesses are still clustered along the highway.

The LDS Provo Stake served Pond Town’s religious needs until Salem Ward was created in 1877. A red brick church was completed in 1898, remodeled in 1938 and replaced in 1972.

The one ward was divided in 1956, and currently there are two local LDS stakes.

Education was always important to the settlers, and parents made arrangements for their children to be taught, first in homes and then in a log schoolroom. Several small buildings were used for school, church, and public meetings until the church meetinghouse was built in 1898; it was followed by a new brick school built in 1907.

The “Dream Mine” of John Hyrum Koyle, as well as the pond, became synonymous with Salem. Koyle dreamed of a rich ore mine on the hillside and set out to bring his dream to fruition.

Selling shares in the venture, Koyle was able to have a deep shaft dug, but ore was never found.

Salem was incorporated as a town in 1886, and 14 presidents and boards of trustees served until 1920, at which time the first mayor began his term in office.

Throughout its history, the citizens of Salem have been hard-working, neighborly and flexible, adapting to the changes time has required of them.

Revere Health to open Salem campus In May 2016, Revere Health will open its new campus in Salem to better serve southern Utah County and the surrounding areas. With nearly a quarter of Revere Health’s Utah County patients living south of Springville, this new facility will eliminate the need for them to travel to Provo for many different services.

The new campus, where construction began in January of 2015, will be a major addition to this rapidly growing community. It is the biggest commercial development in Salem’s history and is projected to accommodate more than 150,000 patients each year. To see construction updates or to get more information as the community open house and grand opening draws near, visit

reverehealth.com/salem-campus.

“This will be an exciting addition to our community,” said Dr. Troy Lunceford, a provider with Payson Internal Medicine and a resident of southern Utah County. “It will help decrease the fragmented care that has been at our end of the valley for a long time. So many clinics are spread throughout the different communities in Spanish Fork, Salem and Payson, and bringing care together will help me as a physician as I work with my colleagues to care for patients.”

Like Dr. Lunceford, many physicians at the south end of the valley are eager to provide more convenient access to all their patients. The new campus will provide high-

quality care to patients in the area and the physicians at Revere Health are excited to be a bigger part of the community.

“Having a multispecialty clinic with a radiology lab, internal medicine, family practice, physical therapy, urgent care and many other specialties will make it much easier for patients to get the full continuum of care that they need,” adds Dr. Lunceford. “We’re thrilled that patients no longer need to travel to Provo to get all of the services provided by Revere Health, and the integrated care offered with the addition of the new campus will allow patients to receive care more quickly as the process for getting test results and insurance approval is shortened.”

Community-based healthcare is important to Revere Health, and the addition of the new Salem campus will expand access to even more services to patients right in their own backyard.

The new facility will offer many services including an ambulatory surgical center, a dialysis center, an imaging center, physical therapy, a laboratory and a pharmacy with plans to also include medical offices for orthopedics, internal medicine, family medicine, urology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and a specialty suite to rotate between several other specialties.

A connected building on the campus will also house an overnight, extended-care facility with 16 beds for post-surgical patients and shortterm rehabilitation.

Revere Health, formerly Central Utah Clinic, is now the largest independent multispecialty physician group in Utah. Revere Health changed its name in July of 2015.

Ultimately, the Central Utah Clinic

as Revere Health helped to include all groups within the clinic and eliminate confusion for our patients outside of Central Utah.

Color Festival

Thousands attend annual Holi Festival of Colors Each spring, as the leaves and blossoms begin appearing on the trees, thousands of people join together to celebrate the colors of the new season at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork.

The temple is home to the largest Holi Fes-

58

tival of Colors in the Western Hemisphere. In India, the Holi festival celebrates the arrival of spring and the end of winter.

Inaugurated 5,000 years ago by Lord Krishna, has been celebrated in India for centuries. In Spanish Fork, 55,000-plus people converge

on the temple to spend two days enjoying music, dance and yoga as well as tossing organic colored powders into the air. The event attracts all ages, and coordinated color tosses occur throughout the day.

Temple members believe in principals of chastity, no intoxication or gambling, and a diet of healthy vegetable foods. They also follow the teachings of the yoga of devotion, which ex-

presses itself through the chanting of the holy name of God. This chanting is the foundation of the music and joy at the Festival of Colors, The temple is located at 8628 S. State Road, Spanish Fork. The 2016 Holi Festival of Colors will be held at the temple on Saturday, March 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 27, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.festivalofcolorsusa.com.

Wrangler Champions Challenge Rodeo Professional rodeo doesn’t get any better than the Wrangler Champions Challenge Rodeo. And for many professional cowboys, the rodeo experience doesn’t get any better than in Spanish Fork.

2016 is the third year a Champions Challenge Rodeo will be hosted at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds, an impressive achievement for a small town competing with top rodeo venues around the country to attract the event. Broadcasted via CBS Sports to a national television audience, the event pits the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s best contestants against each other and features the sport’s best stock. A series of Champions Challenges are held during the summer in various

locations, with Spanish Fork’s Champions Challenge planned this year on June 4.

Three years ago, the PRCA created

the Champions Challenges as madefor-television events that would help give their sponsors a larger audience, said Steve Money, rodeo director and fairgrounds manager for Spanish Fork City. The organization began searching for some top rodeos to host the events, and Spanish Fork quickly expressed interest.

With Spanish Fork’s impressive rodeo facility and track record of hosting quality rodeos, the PRCA decided to give the city a chance.

“That put a lot of work on us to make sure we could do a top-notch event, and we did it,” Money said, “and all the cowboys said that was the best Champions Challenge Rodeo that there was.” PRCA representatives and national sponsors that attended were also pleased with the Spanish Fork event. “Every one of

LOCAL EVENTS them was thrilled, tickled over it,” Money said.

All the other Champions Challenge Rodeos are held as part of their host city’s own rodeo, but Money didn’t want this new event to conflict with Spanish Fork’s popular Fiesta Days Rodeo held annually in July. He examined the calendar and decided that the first Saturday after Memorial Day looked good. As a result, the Spanish Fork Champions Challenge Rodeo is the only Champions Challenge that is a stand-alone event.

Unlike the Fiesta Days Rodeo, which has competition taking place over several days, the Champions Challenge has all cowboys competing that night in all events. “You have the top 11 cowboys in the world performing on some of the top livestock in a one-night shootout,” Money said, adding that the event is comparable to a national finals competition. “Some people have even told me that our Champions Challenge is better than the national finals performance,” Money said.

When asked why Spanish Fork has been such an impressive host for the event, Money

said the production value is high, the venue is one of the best in the nation and the fans are some of the best there are. “When you put all that combination together, the fans being on top of the action in that venue with a good production, it makes the horses, the cowboys and everybody perform better,” he said. At some rodeos, it’s hard to get the audience to clap, but in Spanish Fork, the audience appreciates the competition and they show it.

“Without the support of our community and our sponsors, there’s no way that our rodeo would be where it is today,” Money said. “Our community has supported us 100 percent.

Spanish Fork boasts award-winning rodeo Officially opened in July of 2012 after a $3 million donation from an anonymous donor, the rodeo arena at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds is truly a world-class facility. This was emphasized in December of 2015 when the 8,500seat arena was honored with a prestigious award.

Last December, representatives of Spanish Fork City attended activities offered as part of the annual PRCA convention in Las Vegas, including a banquet hosted by the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

At that event, the WPRA announced the winners of the Justin Boots Best Footing Award in each of its 12 rodeo circuits. Spanish Fork was awarded first place in the Wilderness Circuit.

The Best Footing Award recognizes facilities where extra care has been taken to ensure that the ground has good “footing,” meaning that the condition of the arena floor is safe and consistent throughout the entire rodeo. This is especially important for barrel racing, a women’s rodeo competition event, where the slip of a hoof could mean the difference between first and last place or result in

injuries to the rider and horse.

Steve Money, rodeo director and fairgrounds manager for Spanish Fork City, said he takes the ground at the Spanish Fork rodeo arena very seriously. “People think it’s just dirt,” he said. “No, you have to prepare it special. …

These people are making their livelihood and depending on this ground.”

Money said the city has a stockpile of special dirt set aside for its rodeo arena and every year more of it is brought in. “After 33 years (managing the rodeo), I know how to prepare ground,” he said. Spanish Fork also won the Best Footing Award in 2013 and 2014.

At the same banquet where the Spanish Fork arena was honored for its footing, the WPRA named Spanish Fork the winner of Rodeo of the Year for large, outdoor rodeos. This meant Spanish Fork beat out other well-known rodeos in cities such as Tucson, Ariz.; Cody, Wyo.; Salinas, Calif.; and Cheyenne, Wyo. Spanish Fork also won this award in 2013.

Utah County Fair becoming a favorite family activity

FAIR

Each summer, Spanish Fork becomes the center of attention in Utah County as home gardeners, crafters, livestock owners and vendors gather for the Utah County Fair.

The four-day fair is held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds, located at 475 S. Main, and includes a huge variety of activities sure to interest all ages. Those attending can enjoy a wide variety of exhibits and shows including the Junior Livestock Show, taxidermy exhibits and the Open Halter Horse Show. Musical and other entertainment is plentiful, including the Utah County Talent Contest.

Entries in the Open Class competition categories are also displayed. County residents can submit their entries for this competition in areas including Foods and Canning, Horticulture, Clothing and Handwork, Quilts and Fine Arts.

Many other exhibits and activities are available each year. Past fairs have included reptile and other animal displays, an antique tractor exhibit, a kids fishing experience and the Kids Korner with various activities for children. Of course, no fair would be complete without food and vendor booths, and the Utah County Fair provides a large selection of both.

One popular event is the Pig Wrestling Rodeo, which offers an evening of good old-fashioned family fun. Teams of four people have 60 seconds to catch a pig and

Icelandic ties strong in Spanish Fork In the mid-1800s, newly converted members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were traveling from many areas to what is now Utah to join other members of the LDS Church. Some of those pioneers came from Iceland, an island located northwest of Great Britain between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

They would eventually arrive in Salt Lake City, then continue on to permanently settle in Spanish Fork, arriving in 1855.

This established Spanish Fork as the earliest Icelandic settlement in North America.

Descendants of the 410 Icelandic emigrants to Utah between 1854 and 1914, as well as others interested in remembering the city’s Icelandic heritage, now commemorate this history through the Icelandic Association of Utah. Based in Spanish Fork, this non-profit organization works to preserve the memory of the Icelandic pioneers, to celebrate the culture of Iceland through education and activities, and to promote closer and better relations with the people of Iceland.

“We want to promote an interest in the Icelandic heritage and culture and preserve the memory of the Icelandic settlers of Spanish Fork,” said Lacey Nielson, president of the Icelandic Association of Utah. A Spanish Fork resident, Nielson is a de-

scendant of Samúel Bjarnason, one of Spanish Fork’s Icelandic settlers.

The association was established in 1897 and over the years has hosted the president of Iceland, the mayor of the Westmann Islands (a group of islands off the south coast of Iceland) and other dignitaries. Spanish Fork is a sister city with Vestmannaeyjar, a town in the Westmann Islands. A monument to the Icelanders who emigrated to Spanish Fork has been erected in the Westmann Islands, and a one-ton rock brought from the Westmann Islands now rests at the Icelandic Monument located at 800 E. Canyon Road in Spanish Fork.

The association offers two major events each year, both of which are open to the public. On the last Saturday in February each year, the association hosts Thorrablót, a midwinter celebration that has its origins in the mythology of the Norse god Thor. The central activity of Thorrablót in Spanish Fork is a feast featuring traditional Icelandic food such as hakarl (fermented shark meat) and hardfiskur (dried fish) - food items that enabled early ancestors to endure the cold, harsh winters. The menu also includes a typical Icelandic meal of lamb, breaded fish, glazed potatoes, red cabbage, and Icelandic pancakes for dessert.

Thorrablót also includes children’s activities and a performance by the Barnakor, a children’s choir that sings songs in Icelandic. There is also a quilt auction to raise money for the association to sponsor teenagers with Icelandic ansestry to participate in the Snorri program where they travel to Iceland, study the language and culture, and find relatives whom they live and work with for a time. After the meal and program, guests can participate in Icelandic folk dancing.

Each June, on the weekend after Fathers Day, the association hosts Iceland Days in Spanish Fork. This multi-day event starts on a Friday with culture workshops and classes where those attending have learned skills such as woodcarving and Icelandic cooking.

The next day, Saturday, is spent in the Spanish Fork City Park with various activities including children’s activities and musical performances. On Sunday, a fireside is held featuring speakers such as LDS Church missionaries who have served in Iceland or others who have an Icelandic connection.

Those interested in joining the Icelandic Association of Utah can obtain more information and contact the association at www.utahicelanders.org. Membership is open to anyone. Members have access to the association’s collection of family history resources, including experts in Icelandic family history.

Local trail listings With beautiful mountains all around, it comes as no surprise that the Spanish Fork/Salem area boasts many different opportunities for hiking, from long, strenuous journeys to simpler expeditions fit for children. Below are a few of the options. The information and photos here are provided courtesy of www.trails360.com, where detailed information can be found about each of these trails.

ESCALANTE CROSS TRAIL Fathers Francisco Atanasio Dominguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante traveled through Utah more than 200 years ago while searching for an overland route to a settlement at Monterey. Eventually traveling down Spanish Fork Canyon, they emerged from the canyon on Sept. 23, 1776, and climbed atop a hill now known as Dominguez Hill that overlooks the area that would later become Spanish Fork City. They were the first non-natives to see Utah Lake and its surrounding valley. A cross made from steel beams and supported with steel cables now marks this historic place, and hikers can enjoy the same view as these early explorers. The trailhead can be found at Spanish Oaks Campground, 2939 S. Spanish Oaks Drive, Spanish Fork.

SPANISH FORK PEAK The official USGS name for this mountain is Spanish Fork Peak, though some Utah residents still call it by the old unofficial name of Maple Mountain. The trail begins at a parking lot past Whitings Campground in Maple Canyon. The trail to the top is long, extremely steep and grueling and will be a good workout for strong hikers and a significant challenge for novices. The scenery is beautiful and, in the summer, very green. The trail makes its way up Maple Canyon, going through lush forests, glacial valleys, rugged cirques and windswept ridge lines.

HIDDEN OAKS TRAIL (SNELL CANYON) This hike is a wonderful hike that will take you from the Spanish Oaks Campground to the top of Snell Canyon with awesome views of the surrounding mountains and Utah Valley. The trail starts out using the same trail head as the Escalante Cross trail. There are two parts of this hike, the Lower Canyon and Upper Canyon.

DRIPPING ROCK TRAIL (SPANISH FORK CANYON) This trail is a great choice for those with younger children.

It starts out at a small parking lot opposite of a small subdivision along the Spanish Fork River over looking the Spanish Oaks Golf Course. The hike is a spur of the Spanish Fork River Trail; it starts at the same trail head and eventually ends up at the Spanish Fork Recreation Park at the west end of town.

This hike is well shaded and gives kids an opportunity to get into nature without going far out of civilization.

ESCALANTE CROSS TRAIL DIAMOND FORK HOT SPRINGS The trailhead for this hike is found by traveling up Spanish Fork Canyon and then following Diamond Fork Road. There are several natural hot springs in the vicinity of the Diamond Fork Hot Springs with temperatures of about 97 degrees.

These flow into several man-made pools formed along the edge of Fifth Water Creek. There is also a small waterfall a short distance upstream that hikers can explore. Be sure to bring your swimming gear.

Tourism listings DOMINGUEZ AND ESCALANTE MONUMENT Two Franciscan Friars named Silvestre Valez de Escalante and Francisco Atanasio de Dominguez were some of the first explorers to pass through the Spanish Fork area. These priests were in quest of a direct route from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Monterey, California. After traveling down Spanish Fork Canyon, they camped somewhere near the present day city limits on Sept. 23, 1776.

ICELANDIC MONUMENT/ ICELANDIC DAYS In the mid-1800s, Icelanders who had converted to the Mormon faith made the long journey from their homeland to Utah, where they settled in Spanish Fork. This created the first permanent Icelandic settlement in the United States, and today the city is the oldest continuous Icelandic settlement in North America. In recognition of its Icelandic heritage, the city is home to the Icelandic Monument, a light house located at 800 E. Canyon Road that was dedicated in 1938. Each year in June, the Icelandic Association of Utah sponsors the Icelandic Days celebration in Spanish Fork. Events include speakers, food booths and children’s activities.

Tiny Homes

Now everyone can afford a home!

DESIGN A HOME THAT TAKES CARE OF ALL YOUR BASIC LIVING NEEDS • Custom design your floor plan to include a standard kitchen and full sized bathroom.

• Build to live “Off The Grid” - Rely upon nature for Power and Water • Starter Homes can be built for Travel • The “stepped-series” of Interchangeable parts allows flexible and easy expansions as your family grows.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS Power – Solar/Generator Water – Capture/Filter/Store Septic Disposal Nutrient Recycling Attached Greenhouse

STARTER HOME In difficult economic times, many people see home ownership as being out of reach. Fortunately, there are many options to consider.

This includes the new trend of “Tiny Homes” built by Life Starter Homes, an Orem, Utah company.

EXPANDABILITY

The homes are made with interchangeable parts. This means that they can be easily expanded as the need arises. Two or more units can be built together and additional levels can be added to the top of the home for a larger size.

EXTENDED LIVING SOLUTIONS - BACK YARD ADD ON In today’s economy, the need often arises for an adult child to move in with your established family as they try to save money to establish themselves in their own home.

Or, you may need to have a parent move in with your family for financial or medical reasons.

Either way, a Tiny Home makes for a great addition to your current home and can meet the zoning requirements as an addition to your home rather than a separate living quarters.
